Chitchatting with Kevin Feige amid promotion for Thor: The Dark World, Movie Web name-dropped Doctor Strange, Planet Hulk and the Black Panther as candidates for Phase Three of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In response, the studio president of production said, "Well, Doctor Strange is definitely on there...We are developing it now and some of those other titles. I'd love to see an equal number of new story lines with existing characters, and brand new ones. Obviously we have Captain America: The Winter Soldier coming out... and then we have Guardians of the Galaxy, which is a whole new one." Whether Marvel Studios aims for trilogies for each new and existing character, Kevin Feige said, "Well, we plan on doing movies that people enjoy enough that they want to see another one, right... that's the goal. And like I was saying, we have The Avengers: Age of Ultron, but then we have Ant-Man. So I like that becoming sort of the balance... with existing characters, and then new characters. And then as we go into phase 3, certainly as you know from the comics, there are plenty of story lines for all of these characters that we can choose from. But I think someone, like a Doctor Strange...Would be great to see, I just want to make sure we have a good story first. But it won't be until middle of next year until we announce officially what the next stories will be." What do you think?

So Doctor Strange is basically confirmed. Cool. I think 3 new characters should be introduced.

Ant man
Doctor Strange
Black Panther or Inhumans

With two returning

Thor
Captain america.

Why does everyone think Avengers 3 will come in 2018? They basically said they're saving Thanos for 'the final dance'.

Marvel's plans go until 2021. I wouldn't be surprised if they wanted to put solo films until 2021 to end the Saga with a massive, Infinity Gauntlet-like storyline.

Banks - 11/4/2013, 1:08 PM
Devil, much agreed man. At least 3, we don't care if that's greedy.

Seeing as we're getting Ultron before Hank Pym, I really think an Ant Man movie is kind of pointless. I don't think the character is compelling enough for a solo flick. I think Phase 3 new characters should be Doc Strange and Black Panther. I want Agents of SHIELD to introduce Luke Cage and a Heroes for Hire element that can be brought into the MCU.

Not really sure if I would want to see a Doctor Strange movie unless it's a major-tie in to Avengers 3. I will definitely see Ant-Man and Black Panther though as well as Thor, Cap and Hulk sequels. I am also hoping there will be an Iron Man sequel especially if Tony creates Ultron.

Dr. Strange. Thor 3 (surtur and enchantress). Hulk 2. Black panther. Avengers 3(kang).

Phase 3. Inhumans, Captain america 3 (Masters of Evil with hawkeye, black widow, falcon, anyone else?), Captain Marvel, Marvel Knights, GOTG, avengers 4 thanos.

LastAvenger99 - 11/4/2013, 1:21 PM
I still find it funny people actually think a Black Panther movie will be made. if black panther ever gets any movie love im sure it will be in someone else movie. Sorta like falcon is to captain America.

I remember telling a certain somebody that Doc Strange is in phase 3 but nooooo they need it to be confirmed even though this is like the 3rd or 4th time Feige confirming it to be in Phase 3. :')



Can't wait for Doc Strange. My body is ready. Long live the MCU. Just hoping Black Panther is in Phase 3 too.

@blacksuperhero4

"I still find it funny people actually think a Black Panther movie will be made."

I mean Feige said himself that Black Panther was in "major development" so if that's not enough for you I don't know what else is...lol

SN: Anyone watching the red carpet world premiere of Thor: The Dark World??
LastAvenger99
LastAvenger99 - 11/4/2013, 1:32 PM
@TheBlackNerd

and when the movie is made i bet we wont get the king of a African Kingdom who leads his own people with dignity. we all know you gotta have the "white savior" in there somewhere or the masses of the general movie going audience won't relate to it.

Banks - 11/4/2013, 1:33 PM
Dougieisrollingthejays, yeah man I've always thought Kang would be epic against the Avengers, he's got a really interesting story. Also I've always thought Graviton would be completely insane and effing crazy to see face off against the Avengers. We might just get to see that :D

ezio619 - 11/4/2013, 1:34 PM
I Want an iron fist film,dammit!! one especially based on the "Immortal Iron Fist" run by matt fraction and ed brubaker
ezio619
ezio619 - 11/4/2013, 1:35 PM
Banks-yeah kang would be cool but wouldn't he be similar to loki with the whole alien invasion angle especially if they are gonna do Thanos now especially
